  • Merve has a thing about taking his caravan to "off-grid" campsites. If it's peace and quiet that you're after, it's easy to see why they appeal, but how do you stay for weeks on end on a campsite with only water and waste disposal facilities? From a campsite somewhere in the great British countryside, Merve explains how he and Kath manage to live comfortably in their Coachman caravan with all the luxuries of home at hand.
    If you thought that going off-grid meant roughing it, Merve wants to convince you that, with the right equipment, this doesn't have to be the case.

    We have already put a lithium battery in the caravan and also have a 2500w power station with 400w solar backup and
    We love it! No worries about power 😂😂

    I'm thinking about to buy a caravan, this was very helpful. Many thanks

    I’m watching this video in June of 2023. SOME touring caravan/ Motorhome site fees have risen by huge amounts, so I’m off to the Facebook group to learn more about how I can fit out my caravan for 100% off grid camp sites. Cheers!

    Wow! Great money saving tips there! Would we do it, well, we never have, we came very near to it I suppose in the late 70s when we had the kids, and went on a few rallies with the then Caravan Club, but I don’t think we would now. Great video, liked and subd!

    Hi I, new to this. Does this mean that you run the 240V goods toaster form a 12V lithium battery?

    • @RoadproUk
      @RoadproUk  Před 2 lety

      Merve runs the toaster from an inverter which converts 12V DC to 240V AC. This takes a lot of energy out of the battery and a lithium battery is the best kind of battery for this purpose.

    Hi, were do you find these sites, we are very new to caravaning but this type of camping seems very peaceful.

      Get in touch with the Caravan and Motorhome Off-grid Group on Facebook Janet. facebook.com/groups/CAMOGG/ Merve is one of the founders of the group and he would love to help you go off-grid!

    Has Merve altered the wiring to run off grid?

    • @andrewharris169
      @andrewharris169 Před 11 měsíci +1

      He's got an inverter which supplies 240V when he's off grid. No need to change wiring but, obviously, some additional wiring required.

    Merv has a good hold on Cath she looks she wants to escape from this mizer bet she's wondering what the hell she did to deserve to be stuck in a hell hole like this at this stage of her life listening to penny pinching Merv enjoy your toast Cath hope he's not counting the slices

      What an utterly pathetic and unpleasant comment: totally inaccurate as well. Well done Jerry, you scored zero out of a 100. I suggest you stay home and enjoy your own miserable company.

    • @alunjones5646

      Hi Jerry. You sound like a thoroughly unpleasant person. Please try to keep a lid on your unpleasantness - there's no need for it. No-one has a problem with people expressing different opinions, that's OK. It's not OK to be rude and unpleasant. Please try to be a better person than you are being right now. Good luck.

    No idea on price of installation?

    • @andrewharris169
      @andrewharris169 Před 3 lety

      An installation like this can vary from around £1,500.00 to £10,000.00 or more. It all depends on what you want to do in your caravan.

      It's you making a judgement on something when you are not in possession of the facts.
